Instruction manual
1
Decide what you need to read. It does not depend on your personal preferences by genres and authors, but on what you want to achieve in life, on your priorities. According to your tasks, determine what skills, knowledge and skills you do not have to become a successful and happy person. You can make a list of them, and then select one or two main points from this list.
2
Narrow down the circle of possible authors exclusively to those who have established themselves well in the field that bothers you, based on the results of the previous step. Build on their biography and the opinions of other readers about their books. Subsequently, this will significantly save your time, which with a different approach, you could spend on absorbing completely useless literature.
3
Get the most out of your reading experience. If you want to not only have a pleasant, exciting and interesting time, but also to make something necessary for your development, then it is better to read it wisely. You need to do this without rushing, if possible in a calm environment, tune in the right way. Prepare a pencil with which you will mark important passages. If you are reading an e-book, use the "Add note" function and highlight the desired paragraph. Another option is to write out the parts of the book that you liked that surprised you in a separate notebook, diary or notepad.
4
Read books in the foreign language you are learning. This will not only help you learn something new, but also improve your language skills. When reading a sentence, for example, in English, try to grasp its meaning as a whole. If there are any words incomprehensible to you, do not focus on them, translate them later. It is possible that as you read further, you will be able to grasp the meaning of the word based on the general context.
